This article explains things that novice knitters may not know when first starting to knit w/ circular needles.

I found a blog with more information on knitting in the round for the newbie:

I wish we'd had internet and you-tube when I was a younger woman.

My mom taught me to knit and purl when I was 9 years old, but everything else has been trial and error for me---using circulars, dpn's, openwork (lacy stuff), and the rest.

I learned by trying, cussing, and ripping out.

Now I use you-tube for some things and of course all of the wonderful help I've gotten from sites like FV needlearts.

Thank you so much for the links Michelle! I have been wanting to try knitting with circular needles but trying to find an easy pattern for my first attempt.
